What does "consuming a corpse" mean as it pertains to the skill Grim Harvest? (self.diablo)

I thought that it would mean raising a skeleton from corpse, but apparently not, because consuming corpses is supposed to generate essence for me and it doesn't seem to do that.

The only two skills that consume corpses by default are Corpse Explosion and Raise Skeleton. I just tested this quickly and yes, Raise Skeleton does give me the expected small jump in essence.

I thought that both raising a skeleton and using corpse explosion consumed a corpse. I know for sure that corpse explosion generates essence for me. And I’m 90% sure that raise skeleton does as well.

However, corpse tendrils does not consume a corpse.

@Dick_Justice corpse explosion should consume. I use this all the time as damage/recharging
